GB 2021 Update #10 - "get vaccinated"

by neat blue dog in

am the turd comes the closest to just coming right out and telling jws they have to do it.

he says, 'there's no need to worry, just keep doing what works: wear masks, wash your hands and get vaccinated when possible'.

the busybodies are going to be even more insufferable now than they have been.

I've had covid and am in my 60's. I have no underlying health problems, but it took a month to get over the severe fatigue. I have a 40 year-old niece who is very overweight and diabetic, and had covid for three days. Nothing seems to really makes sense in how this disease works, but I'm glad to have received natural immunity

Kg you are correct regarding the fact that nothing makes sense regarding this virus. One of my workers just got Covid AGAIN for the second time. He had natural immunity. Both times he just got a slight fever and a little weak. He is young, early 30s and in good physical health.

The best we can do is stay as healthy as possible, use common sense regarding large crowds, and keep plugging away.

In the US only 48000 people have died from COVID under the age of 50 in the last 2 years. The majority of people that died were elderly or had other underlying conditions. More people died in car accidents and overdoses in that age bracket, actually the increased amount of overdoses (more than 20000 MORE overdoses in 2020 vs 2019 and it looks like 2021 will be even worse with it probably topping more than 100,000 overdoses totally) which would outstrip the younger people dying from COVID since 2020.

I really appreciate all the stats you bring out. It paints a pretty good image in my mind of exactly what is going on.

2020’s are already a Train Wreck for JW ORG

by Reservations in

as the title says, we are nearly at the end of the 2nd year of the 2020’s, and already jw org is not only a car crash, but an absolute train wreck.. i’ve watched the annual meeting 2021 already, and it seems the gb are in fighting, morris openly disagreeing with lett, that is massive, and it’s something that has largely not been commented on by this community.

covid-19 is not going anywhere, any trial meetings will surely be shut down, now omicron is doing the rounds.. it looks highly likely we will see a second negative growth year.

“young ones” are waking up by the masses.

Therefore, the TRUE number of real believers is lower than what anybody really thinks. This number is always bound to go down by the deaths of older ones “dying off by the shed load” as you say.

Let's be real-----most likely there is about 4 or 5 million True Believers World wide, and some 90 plus percent are over 60 years old.

There's over 60,000 exjw on reddit on just about all of them are PIMO because of family.

They all say the same thing;

"As soon as my Mom/Dad dies, I'm Out"

Jussie Smollett on trial

by LoveUniHateExams in

there is a trial currently starting - even funnier than the baldwin nonsense.. yes, everyone's favorite actor, singer and hate crime victim is going on trial.. i am, of course, talking about jussie smollett.

he's going on trial for lying to chicago police and wasting their time.. he's obviously as guilty as hell, but i just can't wait for this to unfold.. it's gonna be hilarious ....

pistolpete

The Left was waiting for Jussie Smollet to be vindicated.

I guess the Court found Smollett Guilty of lying. Which is unusual considering it is his own left wing "Friends" who are now turning on him.

The actor faces up to three year in jail

Maybe some of the left is getting tired of all the hypocrisy.

Recent Annual Meeting - Asking for Clarification

by truth_b_known in

would someone in the know please clarify for me some alleged comments given from the governing body at the recent/yet to be streamed for the rank and file annual meeting?.

it is my understanding that samuel herd basically tells the rank and file that old light is new light and the new light of july, 2013 is now old light.

to be specific, herd states that the official stance on whether or not the annointed remaining on earth, to include the governing body, will all be in heaven prior to armageddon.. at this same annual meeting tony morris iii tells those in attendance that stephen letts' statement that "we're living in the final part of the last days, undoubtedly the final part of the final part of the last days!

I have come to the conclusion that a lot of JWs don't care if the end is near.

by mickbobcat in

i was in the cult for years about 40. fourth gen born in cult member or for me ex cult member.

i have seen so many cult members who don't seem to really care if the end is near or not.

they are much more concerned with the idea that this is their social network and they need and or want it just the way it is.

I always had a theory some JWs aren’t just lazy but really don’t want to hack it in a worldly environment. They like the controlled environment of the congregation and service groups where people are ‘polite’ to them whereas in the real ‘world’ people aren’t necessarily polite and a person has to ‘pull their weight’.

This actually makes a lot of sense. The jws can't deal with reality.

In fact, that's the same reason why they continue to believe in the everlasting life, paradise earth, soon to come promise. Because they don't want to deal with the reality that they will eventually get Old, Wrinkled, lose everyone they love and finally die.

It's a harsh reality but we have to be brave and accept it because it has been going on for thousands if not millions of year to all humans. Not one human has ever escaped getting old and dying, unless you want to believe the stories of Hercules, Thor, Jesus, - and the Paradise Earth that the Watchtower promises.

Disfellowship-arrangement of JWs is not from God, but from uninspired writers.

by Abraham1 in

1) jesus set the absolute standard on how to deal with the disagreeable or even with those becoming inimical in matthew/5/43-48.

there he said: ‘don’t behave like pagans who love/greet only those loving/greeting them.

but be like our heavenly father who loves everyone without differentiating whether one is friendly or inimical towards him.’ this is his eternal standard.

Imagining that most of the bible isn't inspired but a tiny sliver is has to be the most bat-shit crazy view of the bible I've ever come across.

Liberals really are so stupid

by mickbobcat in

so the liberals and their useful idiots, want to ban guns but then do the dumbest crap like letting rioters go and just glad handing criminals.

now crime is being helped along by the left and people are afraid the police can not protect them and the public's desire for gun control is at an all time low.

they the liberals are dumb as dog shit.

pistolpete

What do you think of Alexandria Cortez

She came out yesterday saying that there is no such thing as looting and riots. She said there is no crime and wants to write a bill to defund all the police in all 50 States.

Even Democrats are calling for the Republicans to take over Congress and the Senate.

Why some are religious or not?

by Vidqun in

time article: several years before pope francis became pope of the catholic church in 2013, psychologists began to debunk the idea that being more educated meant a person was less likely to be religious.

instead, a new social psychology theoryone that had little to do with education levelarose.

according to dual process theory, people are either deliberative or intuitive when they make decisions.

Disillusioned JW

That is because the USA federal government (since 2020) has decreed that those manufacturers can't be sued in regards to those vaccines. That is something which disturbs me.

It should disturb you. Imagine if I could sell any product, and Claim it could do anything, from making you look younger to preventing cancer and it would cost you an arm an a leg. And imagine if the Government protected me- from you suing me in any way or form-----EVER.

And 6 years down the line after I took a big chunk of your money and the money of MILLIONS of other people---- you then find out you got cancer from my product and YOU COULD DO NOTHING ABOUT IT.

In the meantime while you and your loved ones were dying of cancer, me and all my family were living here;
